What is critical thinking? Some people incorrectly think it is being critical of other people’s thinking…and nothing could be further from the truth.

We explore what critical thinking is, the stages of critical thinking, the intellectual standards that are the hallmark of critical thinking, the intellectual traits required for thinking critically, 3 types of reasoning, the 8 elements of reasoning, and most importantly— how to develop your critical thinking skills.

Along the way, you will learn how to spot and correct your own biases— biases that can lead to traps in decision-making.
